Most teens have nightmares on occasion. But frequent nightmares can disrupt sleep patterns by waking someone during the night. The most common triggers for more frequent nightmares are emotional, such as stress or anxiety. Other things that can trigger them include certain medicines, and consuming drugs. Please continue her counseling sessions. Give her lot of love.
